From All The Submarines Of The Unites States Of America. Cardboard and metal // Submarine by Chris Burden is a mixed-media sculpture created in 1987 as part of his series All The Submarines of the United States of America. Constructed from cardboard and metal, this model is a minimalist representation of a submarine, capturing its essential form with raw materials. The piece embodies Burden's exploration of themes such as military power and the hidden, often ominous presence of underwater vessels. The sculpture's simplicity emphasizes the anonymity and ubiquity of submarines, making a subtle commentary on the covert nature of naval operations.
